"Getting Started in Hedge Funds provides investors with a complete and highly accessible introduction to hedge funds: what they are, how they started, how they work, and who manages them. Written by a financial writer and Wall Streeter who knows this world from the inside, this book: explores the industry in its entirety - from $2 million to $2 billion operations; tells the story of hedge funds from their inception in 1949 to today; profiles the strategies of both up-and-coming fund managers and heavyweights like Soros, Robertson, and Steinhardt; develops guidelines for choosing a hedge fund using returns, performance, and risk; and shows smaller investors how to get in on the action."--Jacket
